Clearly agents have little value in the public eye in NZ.

Valid?
Agents work a lot harder than AU agents due to not getting a retainer.

Nett of it is with avg property sales of 300-400 k in nz 4% is a lot of money.

Are agencies inefficient in terms of how they operate?

Are their too many agencies for the number of sales??

Fabulous bit of detective work there Elizabeth but for one thing – I’m not Red Fox – and by the way, for all we know you could be Simon Baker in drag.

You real estate agents are very thin skinned bacause you have no defence to the accusation that you in many cases do very little for what is in most cases an obscene fee structure.

Good Afternoon,

Geoff, please cast your eye over your previous posts as ‘Geoff’ and ‘Red Fox’. You will note that you entered this forum attacking participants, their careers, work ethic and industry.

By all means contribute, but be man enough to stand up to your own actions. If you come out swinging, you should expect that various long time participants here will activate their right to reply.

I suspect I should expect to see a retort from your self, turning all these comments into how you are unjustly treated.

I wait with anticipation and an empty box of Kleenex.

Lets try and keep the debate intelligent.
Myspace may be better for this kind of rhetoric

Oh Scott, another drone from the REA stable, how pleasant to hear from you, embittered, overworked and under skilled as you undoubtedly are.

And what do you do Scott, Nothing ? gee there

I think we can all learn a lot from Geoff, and Red fox.
Specifically, the importance of staying in school and learning how to spell.

Geoff, perhaps school teachers are also pretenders, and are performing a task that anyone could do? (Obviously though, making an exception of whomever taught you.)

Thank you. I know it’s not as easy as it looks but it’s ceetainly not brain surgery and at the end of the day if people want to pay for an agent then it’s up to them. The “system” certainly makes it nessessary to use an agent, anyone who doesn’t looks like a bit of a fool.
